Things Discovered in my Childhood Bedroom

Presented at the Dance Complex on April 29th, 2023.

Using single source lighting, discofied props, the soundtrack of my sexual awakening and isolation, moments of attunement, discovery, release, and joy, drop into some uncomfortable nostalgia, reminiscing on your mind in your childhood bedroom through my new work, Things Discovered in my Childhood Bedroom. The worlds you created. The conversations you had. The discoveries you made. The thoughts you thought. This sensorial dance theatre piece is being devised by utilizing improv scores, moment work (Moises Kaufman), props, lighting, and meditation. The score in this piece is an abstraction of my method for the classes and workshops I facilitate. Workshops include moments of discovery of space, attunement, meditation, dance party, and a culmination.

Choreography & Performer: CJ Donohoe

Music: “Always be my Baby Instrumental” by Matt Lee, “Always be my Baby” by Mariah Carey, “Hold On” by Wilson Phillips

This piece was created with support from the 2023 aMaSSiT Choreography Lab, a collaboration between The Dance Complex (Cambridge, MA) and Monkeyhouse (Malden, MA).
